Port of Blyth is to host its Annual Public Meeting 2023 as a hybrid event, offering stakeholders the chance to attend in person or online, to ensure that it remains an event open to all.

Currently working within the Port of Blyth's marine department as a Relief Skipper and Marine Supervisor, David has had a full and varied career, seeing the Port grow from one of the largest paper terminals in the UK to rapidly expanding into container handling, plywood, project cargo, coal and other dry bulk commodities to a new beginning within the energy sector as the Port became of one the leading Offshore Energy bases.  As we celebrate David's 50 years of service, we took a deep dive into David's career to discover what made the Port of Blyth the employer of choice for him for so many years.
